Proposed Amendments to Identifications of Goods and Services in Trademark Registrations Due to Technology Evolution

As part of the pilot program to allow amendments to identifications of goods and services in trademark registrations due to technology evolution, and in order to provide a mechanism for interested parties to comment about proposed amendments prior to acceptance, the USPTO publishes below all proposed amendments that appear likely to be acceptable under the pilot prior to amending the registration. Interested parties have 30 days from the publication date of the amendment to comment on proposed amendments and such comments will factor into assessing the third-party harm aspect of the petition to the Director under Trademark Rule 2.146, 37 C.F.R. §2.146, to amend the identification.

Commenters are encouraged to explain the potential third-party harm and provide supporting evidence when available. Comments relevant to the decision may be included in the electronic records for the registration at the discretion of the Director.

The USPTO recognizes that technology is always changing. Trademark owners sometimes adjust the way they do business to stay competitive in rapidly evolving fields. They may offer their goods/services in an updated format when those listed on their registration are outdated or obsolete. This pilot program offers these trademark owners, under limited circumstances, an opportunity to amend their registrations.
